European Network of
Transmission System Operators
for Electricity
About ENTSO-E ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, represents 42 electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) from 35 countries across Europe. ENTSO-E, which was established and given legal mandates by the EU’s Third Legislative Package for the Internal Energy Market in 2009, aims to further liberalise the gas and electricity markets in the EU.

ENTSO-E Annual Work Programme // 2021 Edition // 3
Introduction
This Annual Work Programme covers the period from January to December
2021. It focuses on the legally mandated tasks given to ENTSO-E directly by EU
regulation or through decisions taken by All Transmission System Operators
(TSOs) or TSOs of a region mandating their tasks from the EU regulation to
ENTSO-E. ENTSO-E continues to support European policy objectives such as the
Green Deal and therefore its work programme may include initiatives as relevant
to ENTSO-E objectives.
The activities foreseen in this work programme will be In accordance with Art. 32(2) of the IEM Regulation, the
